Daisy turns to me. “Do you, um, think Cole heard?”
“He might be in the barn. But probably. Does it bother you?”
She shivers as my thumb drifts over her nipple. “No,” she says, biting her lip. There’s something she’s not saying, but I don’t think now is the time to press it.
I stand. “Put her in my bed,” I tell Eli, switching to Swedish.
Eli frowns. “Why not mine?”
“Because I don’t trust your laundry skills.”
“Fuck you, I did my sheets yesterday!”
“Do you even know how the machine works?”
“Yes!”
Daisy smacks my chest weakly. “Hey. Don’t speak a foreign language when you just fucked me. It’s rude.”
“We’re talking about how hot you are,” Eli assures her, swinging her up in his arms. “I’m only putting her in your bed if I can come too,” he informs me.
I roll my eyes. “Fine.” It’s big enough for the three of us.
Daisy snuggles into his chest as he carries her through the hallway and into my bedroom. I flip on the light.
My room is a little messy. Everything is clean, but there are notes all over the desk, and a few piles of books stacked against the wall. Even though I keep buying more bookshelves, I can never keep up with my book-buying habit. It’s probably a diagnosable addiction at this point.
Eli carries Daisy over to the king-size bed, plopping her right in the middle of the white quilt. She rubs her face into my pillows. “Are these silk?” She mumbles.
“They keep Riv’s hair pretty.” Eli tosses back his own curls. “Of course, mine don’t need as much work. I’m a natural beauty.”
I don’t say anything, just enjoying the view of her curled up in my sheets. She’s still completely naked, pink and sweaty. Soft brown waves of hair float over my pillows. She wriggles under my gaze, pressing her thighs together. “What?”
“You look great in my bed.”
She blushes and stretches out her arms. “Come on, then. I want a double cuddle.”
I lift the cover and slide in beside her. She lays her head on my chest, curling up into a little ball. On her other side, Eli presses up against her back, spooning her. She grabs his hand and tugs it to wind around her, so he’s holding her tightly, then sighs happily.
“What do you think?” Eli mumbles. “Did you feel like a pig on a stick?”
I snort. She shakes her head, snuggling closer into me. “I feel happier than I have in a long, long time.”
Fifteen
Daisy
I wake up in heaven. There’s no other word for it. Everything around me is soft and warm. I’m lying on a ridiculously comfortable mattress, covered by a squishy quilt, and on either side of me is a hot, naked, muscled man. I have to fight the urge to pinch myself. There’s no way this is my life. I don’t get this lucky.
Eli is lying in front of me, his curls falling over his eyes, breathing steadily. He’s pushed the quilt off in the night, and it’s laying low around his hips. My eyes follow the trail of fine hair leading down to his half-hard cock.
Jesus. Talk about morning wood.
“Morning,” a low voice grumbles behind me. I roll over. Riven’s awake, propped up on his elbow, an open book on his lap. He hasn’t put his contact lenses in yet, and he’s wearing his thick-rimmed glasses. His hair is rumpled around his head. My mouth practically waters. He lookssinful.Like a sexy, off-limits professor, or something.
“How did you sleep?” He asks, smiling slightly. He looks so hot that I can’t stop myself from tipping my lips up and kissing him. He tenses for a second, surprised; then cups my cheek, deepening the kiss. I sigh, melting into him.
He drops his hand under the cover, sliding it down between my breasts and over my stomach.
